Feeling Depressed and Hopeless? Turn To Saint Jude!

One of the blessings granted to me by the Lord is the opportunity to encounter many people who are suffering. While this hardly sounds like a blessing, I consider it an honor because I’m able to share His “Good News” and bring some peace into their lives. Jesus told us repeatedly that we can experience His peace even in the midst of extreme suffering and trials. We often get so battered and worn, however, that we lose sight of this message. When this happens, it’s important to reach out to others and ask them to carry us in prayer. As Catholics, we are blessed by our belief in the Communion of Saints. As a result we can also turn to the saints in heaven and ask them to intercede for us. Throughout the years, St. Jude the Apostle has become known as the patron saint of hopeless causes. Many of you will read this and immediately reply, “that’s me”! If you are tired, weary, depressed and feeling hopeless, I invite you to pray the following prayer. I found it in a Saint Jude prayer booklet and thought it may prove helpful. If you are reading this post, rest assured that you will be in my daily prayers as well. Don’t give up…things WILL get better!

Prayer To St. Jude For The Depressed

St. Jude, friend to those in need, I am weary from grief and anxiety. I am often without joy, without hope, struggling through the dark night of the soul. I turn to you in prayer. Take away this emptiness and the pain of my broken heart. In your compassion, wipe away my tears and carry me to a place of peace. Too long have I been blind to the goodness of God’s world. Help me to take my life one day at a time, one moment at a time, and to be aware of God’s love for me always. Heal me. I yearn to feel, to bathe in light and joy. Envelop me in brightness, and do not hold back. And I promise, if you should see me fit to receive these gifts, I will share them always. Amen.

Please pray with me to St Jude That my anxiety/depression will get better.
We starded the Novena to St Jude today. We were married on Oct.28,1961.
He is very special to us.
Thank you for your prayers.

I’ve struggled on and off with clinical depression for almost 50 years. Despite this God has led me to many blessings in my life and in my family and in my profession. Yet when darkness returns, it is as if I don’t even have the energy to pray. The darkness encircles me and I see no future. Death seems to beckon me. QTherefore, of your compassion, I ask you to pray for me and to you St Jude, deliver me from the snare of the enemy and being me ever closer to my Lord where my soul may be healed. Thank you. Steve

I have suffered so much in order to have a child of my one, and I am now 40 and still childless. Please St. Jude, help me bear a child.

If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believeth. Mark 9:23

The Lord God will surely hear your prayers through the powerful intercession of our glorious Apostle, Saint Jude Thaddaeus, patron of the desperate cases. The good Apostle, Saint Jude Thaddeus, became gloriously renown as the most powerful Patron Saint of Desperate Cases because he was eclipsed for centuries in history. Sadly, for ages he was forgotten despite being a faithful servant and friend of Jesus. God praised and rewarded Saint Jude with an uncanny power to help the desperate, to assist those during impossible situations.

Thank you, Saint Jude, for your immediate assistance and intercession- I am in complete awe over your rapid response and aide, and I am humbled by your exactness and timeliness to meet my needs. You have never failed me during times of trial and tribulation, and words cannot articulate how grateful I am- You have assisted me with both trivial and demonstrative prayers. I truly believed you have even performed miracles for me. Thank you for answering my prayers, God. Thank you for interceding on my behalf, Saint Jude. I will encourage devotion to you always.

St. Jude. please pray for me. I am so very depressed. Our house burned down five months ago and we lost everything. We have been living in a hotel since then. We are living on a day to day existence and I have become very depressed. I feel as if God has forgotten us. To make matters worse, my oldest daughter has stopped speaking to me and my two other children have lost their faith. I am at the end of my wits. Please St. Jude pray for us.

Please St Jude help me with my depression and help all others suffering on this site. You’re the patron saint of desperate situations and this is one. I do not want to be a burden to my family. Please help me. Thank you, St Jude.

The depressive,dark thoughts are seeping in, leaving me feeling very edgy. I am praying that God will literally lift this darkness from me; I so long for His peace & Joy! It MUST be within reach; please St Jude, I ask for your intercession. I will continue to sing God’s praises and to be mindful of all His blessings. St Jude, hear my cries; lay them at the feet of Jesus and ask Him to also bring my pleas to Good.

Blessed St. Jude, please come to our aid. Please help my husband to find work soon. Please help us as we fight against depression. Our burdens are many. Please help us to not succumb to anger or depression from the injustices and unkindness of this community, especially when our children are hurt or dismissed as somehow less worthy than others. Please, St. Jude, in your kindness and mercy lighten our load. We have had such trouble for so many years. We are weary both in spirit and in body. Amen.

Please pray for my daughter Gabriella, she is very sad and depressed and Lonely. She lives in Seattle and after a a trip to Vancouver her significant other that she shared a home with and sold everything because she trusted that her relationship was strong enough to survive. She is 31 years and was cheated on by her First husband and now is being told her boyfriend has been seeing someone else. She’s devistated. Please SAINT Jude help her.

I have just finished a nine day Novena to St. Jude. I am in a desperate situation. I am unemployed and already one month behind on the rent. The next rent is die next Thurday, 20th and I still don’t have the money to pay it. I am praying to St. Jude, Our Mother of Perpetual Succour, The Child of Prague, St. Rita, St. Therese for help. Things are becoming desperate and I believe I will be homeless if I can’t find a way to pay my outstanding debt. Lord Jesus please have mercy on me.

Just like with every other prayer we have to have faith in it. Saint Jude is a miracle worker I am living testimony of that to all those who have are going through their trying times remember the Bible says many are the afflictions of the children of the lord but the lord God himself delivereth them out of all of them so do not worry or have little faith for the lord is with you always he said we must not lose hope and we must never lower our expectations for nothing is beyond his reach.

No matter how hard things are rightnow continue to pray the novena and continue to praise the lord and surely goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life.

Please St.Jude help me. I am feeling very hopeless right now. I am scared, nervous, anxious,worried constantly about my health and about my daughter and granddaughter’s safety. I am worried that I have breast cancer or that I am sick. Thank you for your love and prayers.

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, please intercede with God for me to restore my marriage with Jude. Please pray that God will remove any bitterness and resentment from Jude’s heart and fill it with love, respect, trust, and desire for me. I Pray that God will heal our hearts and strengthen our marriage quickly. This storm has put a big hurt on our family. l also Pray that Jude will seek God in his life and steer away from any temptations. Please pray that my family receives God and lives by his example.

Please St. Jude help my son. He is such a wonderful person, yet he lives in fear and darkness. He has no confidence, he very depressed anxious, and feels unworthy. I come to you today St. Jude to ask you to look over him, and help him find a way out of the darkness and into the world. Amen

Dear saint Jude
I have suffered periodic bouts of depression my entire life. It has come out of nowhere with a vengeance and sometimes it can seem so hard to keep going. Pray for me to help me get through this difficult time like you always have. God bless and prayers to all who are suffering.

I pray to St Jude and the Lord for guidance and peace to endure my life as a married woman with a spouse that suffers from manic depression. Hopelessness follows me around as his illness is getting worse. No financial security, his raging fits, memory loss, instability and all of the other symptoms of this disease are rampant. Please pray for me for I am selfish in asking for these prayers as I don’t know where else to turn.
